During the 1990s, a violent serial rapist known as the "Batman Rapist" stalked and assaulted women on the streets of Bath. More than 35 years after the first attack, his identity remains a mystery
I sometimes wonder if it was my ex husband. He had a Batman cap, was tall and had blue eyes. Do reports say if the attacker had light red hair? He started acting abusive and I ended up sleeping in another room out of fear. He was in the military in Lyneham off the M4 motorway that leads to Bath, from the late 90s until 2003. Although before that up to the mid 90s he was at Brize Norton which is farther from Bath. He had been demoted in the military and was depressed. Even though he had an admin type job, I found a scary looking knife in his wardrobe. He said somebody in the USA military gave it to him. I also found 3 kitchen knifes put in the crevice of the sofa with a sharpener. Why would he do that? I worried at the time he might stab me so locked my door. I eventually separated and then he moved up north in 2003. I have no proof and it could all be a coincidence, but not sure if to still tell the police, or would it be wasting their time?
It is disturbing that he was never caught. A local man near me was actually caught for a rape he committed in the 70s, though, because his granddaughter was arrested for something minor, and they took her DNA and found the familial connection. So there is still hope they could get him. It's likely he died or left the country if everything just completely stopped in 2000, though.
They need to check the records of all unsolved rapes and murders: he could have moved, and he doesn't seem to have a particular modus operandi. Rape is not about sex but power, so the fixation on ripping open underclothes and the clothes on the private parts like breasts shows a desire to humiliate his victims. Social cleansing motivates serial killers and rapists - i.e. they view themselves as torturing dirty people - and the women were all unattended by men, indicating the killer was a reactionary. DNA tests could show which part of the U.K his ancestors came from - we don't know if his ancestors originated in Bath, if they came to Bath in the Industrial Revolution, or if his family recently moved to Bath. Giving the missing and murdered Native women in Canada, we can assume there is a missing and murdered Celtic Traveller and Gypsy problem in the U.K, and that he rapes, kills, and/or traffics Celtic Travellers and Gypsies. We can also assume he targets marginalized white women i.e. the Welsh population who live near areas like Bath, as well as drug addicts, runaways, non-heteronormative women, and homeless people. No doubt he also targets visible minority women; his having a faded cap indicates he or a loved one is a strong comic book fan, which given the circumstances indicates he is a comic book fan regardless of whether or not the cap belonged to him, and he is a potential alt-liter like a Thatcherite, a fan of Rupert Murdoch, or a Gamergater.
Since he did not originally wear the cap we can assume it originally belonged to a loved one. Batman says "criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot," he beats up criminals, and killed them before he chose Robin as an apprentice: he stopped killing because he wanted to be a better role model. Thus the Batman rapist sees Batman as being a social cleanser, and I would think identifies with the brutal antiheroes who inspired Batman: the Shadow and the Phantom. The fact Batman is an U.S comic book character implies the Batman rapist is a gung-ho capitalist who admires the U.S as a land of opportunity, which fits with him being a Thatcherite, a fan of Rupert Murdoch, or a Gamergater; it also aligns with Batman being the rich Bruce Wayne. "Wayne" is a name referring to the Brythonic peoples such as those who fled to Ireland, the Welsh being marginalized as I said and so are the other Celtic peoples: he could be a marginalized person himself in the same way marginalized people in Romance America, the Philippines, the greater Islamic world, Great Lakes Africa, indigenous peoples of Northern America, blue collar areas of Britain, and the Greater South of the United States all support social cleansing, hence Blairite Rodrigo Duterte being elected.
This fits with Bruce Wayne fighting enemies similar to him or fighting enemies who were in his social circle: Alfred Stryker/the Joker, Catwoman, the Penguin, the Riddler, Two-Face, the Red Hood, Owlman, and the Court of Owls.

Maybe the rapist is a cop?
